Computer Graphics and Multimedia Experience Engineering

Multimedia Management and Experience brings together two elements of user interfaces and information presentation: multimedia content experience and content management. Graduates of the program will have a firm grounding in computer graphics, human computer interaction and software engineering. Beyond this, they can choose to specialize in multimedia experience (advanced graphics, visual analytics) or multimedia management (distributed computing). Both tracks include courses in software engineering (user experience engineering and software architecture). Unique research opportunities are available in the Computer Vision Lab, which performs cutting edge collaborative research and education in visual computing by advancing the fields of computer vision and graphics, sensor fusion, machine learning, and distributed cognition.

Research in Focus

Real-Time Computer Vision and Graphics

Professor George Kamberov's research advances knowledge in computer science, mathematics, and physics. He is currently focused on real-time computer vision and graphics, the development and deployment of real-time systems for scene analysis, surveillance and forensics, monitoring and control of large sensor networks, medical imaging, high energy physics, differential geometry, stochastic systems, and differential equations. Dr. Kamberov is the Director of the Computer Vision Lab, and is currently working on a variety of research projects, including Vision and Visualization: sensor data; the mobile network, Real-Time Geographic Visualization for the Mobile Networked Multiple Input Multiple Output (MNM) Integrated Test Environment (MITE), Video Surveillance and Visualization Suite component of the Secure Infrastructure Technology Laboratory at Stevens (SINTEL), Video-acoustic-seismic sensor fusion in an urban environment, Video-based surveillance and forensics, Manifold learning and scene segmentation from unorganized 3D point clouds, Modeling and particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation of ELM-produced particle and energy pulses and their effect on the SOL in TOKAMAKs, and Solutions of the Dirac Equation on Higher Genus Surfaces.
